Rated 1 out of 5 by Starry Changes ruined a great product
I have used this for years and I loved it. I have seriously acne-prone skin, but this product did not cause me to break out, and I relied on it to minimize facial hair growth. To my dismay, the formula has been changed. The ingredient chaparral, which minimizes hair growth, has been removed. In addition, the new formula now causes me to break out badly. I am disappointed and can only hope Philosophy will bring back the original formula without any changes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by SydneyMom New formula NOT for sensitive skin
I'd used the original serum since 2004, and loved it (had the 4oz on auto-delivery from QVC for years). I'm 45 and have ultra-sensitive-rosacea skin and always had a difficult time finding products that didn't cause my skin to flare up. When I found this in 2004, I was thrilled, and loyal ever since; until now. I don't know what changed in the formula to irritate my skin, but it does. I've spent the last four months going back/forth with the new formula, and every time I use it, my skin flares up. I'm SO completely disappointed, because now I'm back to looking for an anti-aging serum that will work for me. If you have really sensitive skin, be cautious.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Careye Nice
I used this before time in a bottle came out, and it does make skin twice as moisturized under night cream. Skin is sooo soft when waking up. My mom uses it for loss of firmness, and has had great results. I have switched to time in a bottle because I think it's probably more beneficial for my skin needs, but this is a great serum and a good one to start with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cali-flower Makes my skin glow
I've tried serums that cost in the $155.00 range that can't hold a candle to "when hope is not enough". This serum is perfect for my skin, which is naturally in the oily spectrum, but can get quite dry here in arizona. this serum soothes and smooths instantly and when I use this regularly it seems to light up my skin and make it look like i'm filled with energy. between this and the miracle worker dark spot corrector my skin didn't look this good when i got costly prescriptions from my dermatologist.
